Outside, three of the eight guards were searching for the sniper's location. The sniper was incredibly accurate, having already taken out three guards. The remaining guards wanted to approach the villa, but the heavy sniper rifle in the distance was constantly aimed at them, making their advance difficult. These guards were retired veterans, with good strength and combat awareness, but they were still inferior to these top-level assassins.

The three guards tracked down the sniper to the roof where he had been, only to find that he had already left.

After Ghost Fire died, Stiletto jumped out of the window, and in a short while, his figure disappeared into the darkness.

Watching Stiletto's disappearing back, Nie Yan was silent for a moment, wondering if Stiletto would come looking for him.

"Nie Yan, why did you recruit such a dangerous person?" Xie Yao asked timidly, carefully avoiding Ghost Fire's corpse.

"He's a real man. People like that aren't dangerous," Nie Yan said, not knowing how to explain it to Xie Yao.

A hint of doubt flashed in Xie Yao's clear, bright eyes. Although she found it difficult to understand, she didn't ask any more questions since Nie Yan had said so.

After a while, the satellite system in the vicinity finally returned to normal. A large number of guards from Bishui Yunjian were dispatched to Xie Yao's villa.

Nie Yan had Xie Yao call her parents to report that she was safe, and then led Xie Yao away from everyone's sight, quietly getting into his car and disappearing into the night.

There was still one sniper from Ghost Fire's side who hadn't died, and that guy was still very dangerous.

Nie Yan knew some of the assassins' code of conduct. If they failed, they wouldn't leave easily. The more guards came from Bishui Yunjian, the more chaotic the scene would be, and the greater the danger to Xie Yao.

He drove the So Long, weaving through the streets and alleys at an extremely fast speed, and returned to his own villa.

Those people probably wouldn't have thought that Xie Yao had already been taken away from the Xie family villa by Nie Yan, and was still in Bishui Yunjian. The most dangerous place is the safest place.

After arriving at Nie Yan's house, Xie Yao called her family and told them the whole story. Xie Yao's situation really made the Longyue Consortium and Zhengrong Consortium nervous, and they began to investigate the matter intensively. If they found out who did it, that person would have to bear the thunderous wrath of the two major consortia!

"My father wants you to take the call," Xie Yao said to Nie Yan.

"Okay." Nie Yan took the phone from Xie Yao. He understood that Xie Jun must have something to tell him. Taking the phone, he said, "Uncle, what can I do for you?"

"Xie Yao is temporarily entrusted to you. You must protect her. She is not suitable to appear in public places now. Staying at your house is the safest thing. We will pick her up after we deal with this matter. I'm sorry to trouble you these days," Xie Jun said sincerely. From his tone, Nie Yan could hear that the Xie family's affair might be a big one, otherwise they would not have put Xie Yao in Nie Yan's house.

"Uncle, please rest assured, I will definitely take good care of Xie Yao," Nie Yan said solemnly.

Nie Yan chatted with Xie Jun for a while. He probed and learned some information from Xie Jun. There were some commercial disputes between the Longyue Consortium, the Zhengrong Consortium, and the Century Consortium. In addition, there seemed to be some problems within the Longyue Consortium, related to Liu Rui's father.

Nie Yan suddenly remembered that there did seem to be such a thing in his previous life. The Longyue Consortium and the Zhengrong Consortium had a major crisis, especially the Longyue Consortium. There were conflicts between the shareholders, and Liu Rui's father and Xie Yao's maternal grandfather, Liu Hongzhe, had some differences, which led to an irreconcilable situation. This matter was not resolved until two or three years later.

Nie Yan remembered that after the Longyue Consortium stabilized, news came that Xie Yao and Liu Rui were engaged. At that time, Nie Yan's heart was ashen, and he became completely depraved, doing many absurd things during that time.

Could Xie Yao's marriage to Liu Rui be related to this matter?

"If you need anything, Uncle, please don't hesitate to ask. I will do my best," Nie Yan said. No matter what, he would never let the things of his previous life happen again.

Xie Jun heard Nie Yan's words, but smiled and said, "Does this sentence represent you personally, or your Nie family?"

Nie Yan understood the meaning of Xie Jun's words. If it was just Nie Yan personally, he would not be able to help them at all. He said, "I can represent the Nie family!"

Hearing Nie Yan's answer, Xie Jun was a little surprised. Nie Yan was only eighteen or nineteen years old, yet Nie's father had already handed over the leadership of the Nie family's company to Nie Yan?

Xie Jun didn't take Nie Yan's words to heart, but he had a good impression of Nie Yan. Nie Yan was very steady, and he was also very relieved to leave Xie Yao with Nie Yan temporarily. He said, "You must remember what I said before. You are all grown up and must be responsible for your actions."

Xie Jun was knocking on Nie Yan, and both Nie Yan and Xie Yao were a little embarrassed when they heard Xie Jun's words.

"Uncle, I understand," Nie Yan said with a laugh.

Xie Yao took the phone from Nie Yan and talked to Xie Jun for a while before hanging up.

Thinking that she would be staying at Nie Yan's house for the next few days, Xie Yao couldn't help but feel a little unnatural. When she looked at Nie Yan, her cheeks were a little flushed, and she asked, "Have Uncle and Auntie not returned yet?"

"They don't know when they will be back. Sometimes they stay in the company for several days in a row," Nie Yan said. His family's situation was basically the same as Xie Yao's. Nie's father was too busy and often couldn't take care of his family.

Xie Yao nodded. It was better if Nie's father and mother didn't come back. If they did, it would be even more awkward.

Nie Yan showed Xie Yao around his house and arranged Xie Yao's room next to his own. He said, "There is no game pod. I will have my men send a good gaming helmet over for you to use for now. For safety's sake, it's best not to go out these days. If you need anything, just tell me."

"Okay," Xie Yao replied, still a little restrained in the unfamiliar environment.

The shaken Xie Yao was a little timid, and had a unique charm.

"What about your change of clothes? Tell me the size of your clothes, and I'll have my sister-in-law bring them over," Nie Yan said to Xie Yao, looking at her. Xie Yao was tall and slender, about 1.66 or 1.67 meters, which was considered relatively tall among girls.

Xie Yao roughly told him the sizes of all her clothes, and when she mentioned her bra, she hesitated a bit and felt embarrassed.

Nie Yan glanced at Xie Yao's chest, recalling the previous enchanting scene, and smiled shamelessly, "About 36D, right?" Xie Yao's pair was quite impressive.

Xie Yao was even more embarrassed. What Nie Yan said was about right. Being said by Nie Yan like this made her blush with shame.

Seeing Xie Yao's shy appearance, Nie Yan laughed and stopped teasing her. He called Ah Chen's wife, that is, his sister-in-law, and asked her to help buy some daily necessities such as underwear.

After arranging everything, it was almost dawn. Nie Yan called Guo Huai and asked, "How is the guild?"

"You finally called," Guo Huai said with a sigh of relief.

After Nie Yan left, the Mad Rogue Tribe was in chaos. There were many things that Guo Huai didn't dare to decide without Nie Yan's order. Nie Yan's words before leaving made Guo Huai understand that Nie Yan must have something urgent to deal with. He had been afraid to call, but he was also worried that something might have happened to Nie Yan.

Nie Yan understood Guo Huai's feelings. The incident happened suddenly and he couldn't help it. Fortunately, Xie Yao was not in danger, otherwise he would regret it for the rest of his life!

"The guild is stable now. There are still some things that you need to take care of. Also, I want to talk to you about the War God Tribe. The five guilds of the Tuoba family are probably going to attack the War God Tribe. The Tuoba family is still very strong in Nisode City. I'm worried that the War God Tribe can't hold on. In any case, our Mad Rogue Tribe can't participate in the war anymore. Our Mad Rogue Tribe suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Cripps Fortress. The players' levels will take at least several weeks to raise. If we want to catch up with the main force, it will take at least several months. If we fight another battle, who knows what will happen," Guo Huai said. The Mad Rogue Tribe must not suffer any more losses.

Nie Yan thought for a while and said, "This time, Radiant Sacred Flame, Carallan's Shrine, and the Holy Roman Empire have also suffered heavy losses. Let the Berserker Alliance go."

"I'm afraid it won't work. The Berserker Alliance is at war with several guilds in their city. They haven't unified Hildelock in Emerald City yet, and they can't spare any manpower!" Guo Huai said. He had already thought of this method, but Hildelock was also not peaceful!

"The War God Tribe shouldn't have any problems in a short time. Let's wait and see," Nie Yan said. He could only wait a little longer. He couldn't ruin the future of the Mad Rogue Tribe for the sake of the War God Tribe.

"The Tuoba family obviously had a premeditated plan. They only took action against the War God Tribe after we finished fighting Bloodlust Blades, the Mage Alliance, and the Sacred Guardians. It will be difficult for the War God Tribe to hold on," Guo Huai said worriedly.

Nie Yan recalled his previous life. At that time, the War God Tribe didn't develop as fast as it did now. According to the progress of his previous life, at this time, the War God Tribe was just a small guild and didn't attract the Tuoba family's attention at all. It wasn't until later, when the Tuoba family declined completely due to family disputes, that the War God Tribe rose strongly and unified Nisode City.

But now, the War God Tribe has attracted the Tuoba family's attention too early. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. If the Tuoba family launches a full-scale war against the War God Tribe, the situation will really be difficult to say.

It shouldn't be a problem for the War God Tribe to defend the fortress. It looks like they can only hold on for a while.

Nie Yan gave Guo Huai a list with about two or three thousand elites from the Mad Rogue Tribe who didn't lose levels in the Battle of Cripps Fortress. Sending some people to help the War God Tribe could alleviate the crisis to some extent. As for himself, he would definitely not go to Nisode City. He still had many important things to do.
